Guestbook comments from the owner

Just don’t want to go home!! We’ve had a fantastic holiday in this fabulous little apartment. Why stay in the Negresco with it’s restricted view when you can enjoy this panorama?!

Location, location, location! This apartment has all three!

It’s out 6th stay in your fabulous apartment – says it all doesn’t it! The studio is truly a little gem of a place! Central location in the Old Town, close to everything you’ll need and magnificent views.

From the moment we took the last step up into the apartment, we knew we had made the right decision to stay here for our visit to Nice. The views of the sea and rooftops are spectacular. The location is fabulous, within a few minute’s walk of everything. It really was perfect.

We had friends staying at Le Meridien, Monte Carlo at the same time – very nice but we wouldn’t have swapped for anything.

To sum it up-utterly enchanting!

Pied a terre a ciel

Just as perfect as the pictures. Be warned those 125 steps are a haul, but once you arrive, you are on the roof tops with the birds and the kitties. The studio is very well equipped with all that you could need, and Laura and Valerie are very responsive.

Exactly as it says on the tin!

Stunning apartment with wonderful views from the rooftop balcony over old town nice,the sea with all the boats and the cruise liners from the kitchen window, and the waterfall hill from the side window as well.A clean, well lit and well furnished property, the daily and nightlyclimb up the stairs from the ground floor to the very top where the apartment is was a challenge but worth it!!.

A perfect base for getting around Nice and beyond by bus or train......A trip to Monaco/Monte Carlo, the beach at Beaulieu Sur Mer and the charming village of Eze are recommended.....Old Town Nice is charming and one can wonder about for ages through the streets...bars and restaurants aplenty so one is spoiled for choice without doubt, a hearty stroll along the promenade blows the cobwebs away too!.

All in all an excellent choice for a place to stay and we would definately recommend this property to a friend or relative, customer service from the owner was five star too throughout the booking.
